TUBULAR LANTERN;

SPECIFICATION forming pm of Letters Patent No. 688,496, dated December 10, 1901f. Application filed July 24,1901. Serial No. 69,579. (No model.)

To all whom it may c n rn: being provided with a circumferential gal- Beit known that I, HENRY J. VOGEL, a lery E, which is of gutter or trough shape to citizen of the United States of America, rereceive the bottom of the chimney. The censiding at a New York, borough of Brooklyn, tral aperture f of the air-distributing disk F 5 and State of New York, have invented ceris of the approximate diameter of buta little -5 5 tain new and useful Improvements in-Tubugreater than that of the burner, so as to fit lar Lanterns, of which the following is a loosely and yet movably and rather snugly specification. thereon. Side rods or wires 9 g are guided This invention relates to lanterns of that in eyes or guides h h, located on the inner to class known as tubular and the objects of sides of the tubes 0 O, and converge in har- 60 the invention are to provide simple, substanmony with the tubes, their upper converging tial, and effective means for raising or lowends being secured at diametrically opposite ering the chimney or globe and for securely points to a cap or deflector G, that has a cenfastening the same in raised or lowered positral collar or sleeve G, which fits movably,

Fig. 4 ring is provided with an upwardly and inis a sectional elevation of the lower portion wardly projecting heel I, which is soldered or of the lantern, and Fig. 5 is a detail perspecotherwise suitably secured to the outer under tive view showing the keeper or lockingside of the deflector G, while diametrically op- '5 hasp. posite the ring is provided with a loop-shaped 8 5 Referring to the drawings, A indicates the hooked finger-piece 1 which protrudes upbase containing the oil-reservoir, and B the wardly through and is guided in a hole '11 in burner. The tubes 0 0 rise from the sides the deflector G. The gallery, wire rods, deof the shell surrounding the burner in a wellflector, and retaining-ring form a longitudi- 46 known manner and .center in a flue D at the nally shiftable supporting -frame for the 0 top of the lantern, which may be carried by chimney or globe, which may be locked or a bail D. No invention resides in these fastened in lowered position by means of a parts, the improvements relating entirely to preferably open wire keeper or hasp K,which the means for supporting and holding the is made by bending the side rod outward,

45 chimney or globe E. then inward upon itself, and the double wire 5 The burner B has the usual rounded form projection is then curved to make it conform at the top and projects through the centrallyto the tube and is pivoted at one side in an apertured disk F, Fig. 4, forming by the miupright sleeve or hearing it, located on the nute perforations therein a means for dis-= tube 0, so that when the keeper is moved so tributing the air supplied to the burner and from the dotted-line position shown in Fig. I00

5 into full-line position it may be caused to be thrown in looking engagement with the upper surface of alaterally-extendingprojection It on the adjacent side rod g, as shown 5 in Fig. 1.

To light the lantern, the keeper K is swung back from the projection 75, and by taking hold of a suitable portion of the chimneyframe the chimney and frame are raised sufto ficiently so that the keeper may be swung back and into engagement with the under side of the projection 70, thereby supporting the chimney above the burner, so that the wick may be lighted. This being done, the

is keeper is released, the chimney and frame lowered, and the keeper rengaged.

Whenever it is required to remove the chimney or globe, the keeper is released, the retaining'ring raised by lifting on the fingerzo piece 1 and the chimney taken hold of and tilted, as shown in Fig. 3, which causes at the same time the tilting or inclination of the gallery and air-distributing disk, the centrally-apertured portion of which moves and z 5 is guided on the rounded portion of the burner. The chimney may then be readily lifted out. The replacing of the chimney is accomplished by first tilting or inclining the gallery, then raising the retaining-ring with one hand, and then inserting the chimney with the other hand and moving it into upright position, in which position it will be antomatically secured firmly in position.

Various details may of course be changed without departing from the comprehensiveness of my invention.

What I claim as new is- 1. In a lantern, the combination with the side member of the lantern-frame and the side 0 rod of the chimney-frame, having a projection; of a hasp K swinging upon a vertical axis on the side member and movable laterally into and out of engagement with the projection of the side rod.

5 2. In a lantern, the combination with the side member of the lantern-frame and the side rod of the chimney-frame; of the laterallyextending projection 7a of the side rod, and the horizontally-swinging hasp K engaging beneath said projection by its horizontal 5o swinging movement.

3. In a tubular lantern, the combination with the side member of the lantern-frame and side rod of the chimney-frame; the lateral projection 70 extending adjacent to the side member of the lantern-frame, the horizontally-swinging hasp K swinging beneath the said projection when the chimney-frame is elevated, and the upright sleeve 70 fixed on the side member and in which the hasp has its bearing.

4. In a lantern, the combination with the side tube of the lantern-frame and the side rod of the chimney-frame, of the projection 70' comprising an outturned portion and an inturned portion, and having the double portion thus formed, curved, and conforming to a portion of the tube; the horizontally-swinging hasp engaging beneath the projection and the vertical bearing in which the hasp 7o swings;

5. In a lantern, the combination of the deflector-plate, having a surrounding gallery, to receive the chimney, formed with a trough having inner and outer side walls with diametric perforations and the chimney-frame embodying wires extending downwardly to the gallery, bent inwardly on diametrically opposite sides of the gallery and projecting through and having their bearings in the perforations in both the inner and outer side walls of the trough.

6. In a lantern, the combination of the de flector-plate, having a surrounding troughshaped gallery to receive the chimney and the chimney-frame formed in. part of the slide-wires extending downwardly to the gallery, then bent inwardly on diametrically opposite sides of the gallery and projecting through and having their hearings in the side walls of the trough, and extending beneath and in contact with the deflector-plate.

Signed at Brooklyn this 22d day of July, 1901.
